 D is for decor and decorations

If you have a theme or color theme, you should use that theme for your decor and decorations.

I've been the wedding and event industry for many years, I've seen a theme "underdone" and I have seen a theme "overdone".  For example, a Bride told me that she was going to have butterflies as her theme.  She had a small butterfly on the front of her wedding invitation and she had a small butterfly in a floral bouquet on her guest book table.  And to be honest with you, 99% of the people attending that Bride's wedding probably did not see either of those butterflies.

 C is for cellular phones . . 

There is a time and place for cell phones, and the Bride and Groom should make their feelings about cell phone usage during their wedding ceremony and reception well known by having someone announce what their guests "can and cannot do" with a cell phone.

On more than one occasion I have seen wedding guests create a problem for the professional photographer hired to take wedding photos.
